    "Soul-catching", an idol of power imagined by the people, makes everyone in this society both addicted to the carnival of power and fearful of becoming a sacrifice for this carnival.  A certain gentleman once said that Chinese history is an endless feast of human flesh.  Since the public is a guest at this banquet, everyone will also be a delicacy on the table.  In such a deformed society, people can only use this method of drinking poison to quench their thirst to protect themselves and attack others - even if this protection seems absurd and fragile.  If there were no "soul-taking", this kind of demand hidden deep in the people's psychology would not explode so strongly, but it would always show up quietly in different forms - when this society still cannot give individuals enough ability to defend themselves  of rights.  Only when this society gives everyone this kind of power, then the nightmare of "soul-taking" may not happen Lin Yizhe realized that he was thinking too far and immediately retracted his thoughts.  ¡°If I want this kind of thing to never happen again, what can you teach me, sir?¡± Lin Yizhe asked Xu Run.  "Haha, I'm afraid it's a bad idea for me to propose something to you." Xu Run replied with a smile, "But since ancient times, those who achieve great things have not adhered to trivial matters, so you don't have to worry about it." "Sir, you want me to learn to be a gentleman.  No?" Lin Yizhe seemed to understand what Xu Run meant and said with a smile.  "Sir, you are really powerful. I raised my head and you can guess what's going on." Xu Run said with a smile, "That's right. He Shen's experience as an official in his early years is quite similar to that of Your Excellency. He Shen has some talents, too.  He is willing to work sincerely, and is also known as "He Qingtian" among the people. However, it is not guaranteed in his later years. Adults want to learn from the gentlemen. This is what he did in his early years. As for his later years, he became corrupt and greedy. He only relied on Emperor Qianlong as his backer and replaced Lord Jiaqing.  If you don't take it seriously, it will lead to death. This is what you need to be vigilant about. When doing big things, you must find a replacement first. You must know that because of this Westernization relationship, there are many people who have been offended. You must not learn from the gentlemen.  , When Emperor Qianlong dies, there will be no one to rely on, and a disaster will come." After hearing Xu Run's words, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but sigh when he thought of He Shen's past.  When he was in prison, He Shen wrote this poem: "Looking at the scenery misses the past, and cherishing talents misses this life." It is his talent that misses his life, and he is cunning.  He is greedy, he is flattering, he is despised by thousands of people, but after all his glory is washed away, he is a tragedy. The tragedy is that he was born in that era, and the tragedy is that he lives in the unspoken rules of feudal officialdom.  Sadly, he met Qianlong.  When He Shen was young, he and his younger brother He Lin suffered a lot due to the decline of their family. Some people say that it was because of this that He Shen had evil intentions in his heart, which led to his unscrupulous greed after his rise to prominence.  In fact, this is not the case. When He Shen was a youth, he was definitely better than the "Three Good Students" when he was studying in the Xian'an Palace Official School. He was good at study, good at sports, good moral character, and good at work.  In short, he was an outstanding young man who was good at everything. At that time, he also had a great revenge in being a good official for the common people.  He Shen's knowledge and talents gave him the most important conditions to become an important minister of the court and a pillar of the country.  Later, after he became an official, he did a lot of good deeds and was called "He Qingtian" by the people. Even the British envoy Magolney recorded in "The Interview of the Qianlong Envoy" that He Shen had "fair appearance"  He is handsome and has a graceful manner. He talks and laughs easily, and handles everything with ease. He really has the demeanor of a prime minister of a great power. When He Shen was in charge of diplomacy, he was praised as a "mature politician" by foreigners.  .  At that time, the He gentry had administrative power, financial power, military power, and personnel power in one body. It would not be an exaggeration to award him a model worker award.  He Shen has a personable demeanor, a well-mannered approach, and an exquisite appearance. Coupled with his appearance as "the most handsome man in the Qing Dynasty", he is talented but does not show his edge. How can such a person with both talent and good looks not be admired?  Although he is surrounded by gentry wives and concubines, his deep love for his wife Feng is enough to move people.  After He Shen's death, many of his wives and concubines committed suicide and were buried, which is enough to illustrate his personal charm.  "Wife is a virtuous son, filial piety, brothers stay with each other, wives and concubines get along harmoniously, cultivate one's moral character, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. It can be said that the harmonious gentry has achieved it all. If "A Dream of Red Mansions" can be passed down, it also has the merits of the harmonious gentry.  Most people know that Ji Xiaolan organized and compiled the Sikuquanshu. In fact, He Shen also contributed a lot.  In fact, Lin Yizhe felt that He Shen was the most likely person to become the second Zhang Juzheng. However, there is no Zhang Juzheng in the world. What he met was not Wanli, but Qianlong.  He Shen's most fatal mistake was that he had no replacement. He was captured by Jiaqing just after Qianlong's death.  Xu Run used He Shen to remind himself, because he wanted to tell himself that he did not need to learn He Shen's charming methods, but that he should learn He Shen's graceful demeanor, good manners, and all-around exquisiteness. Compared with He Shen's brilliant and sharp edge,  Without revealing it, he seems to be too domineering in the limelight now, and he will offend more people.  ¡°And I am facing the same situation as He Shen back then.The problem is, there is no substitute!  To do big things, you must find a replacement first!  "Once the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and Prince Gong Wenxiang and other important backers in the court are gone, I will probably not be able to escape He Shen's fate!  And how do you find your replacement?  And now Qingliu has almost become his mortal enemy!  When He Shen was in power, he made outstanding political achievements and was included in the Ziguang Pavilion (in the fifty-second year of Qianlong's reign, He Shen became one of the twenty meritorious officials designated by the imperial government and was included in the Ziguang Pavilion. Qianlong personally inscribed: "Inherit the training edict, and concurrently  Through the Qing and Han Dynasties, Weiming cut off Salar, and he was awarded the title of loyalty and became a national official." However, after his death, his reputation was disgraced, and no one remembered him.  Investigating the root cause, he also offended the Qing gossip officials a lot. These people would bury him to death in the future, making him a negative example of corrupt officials for future generations!  Xu Run¡¯s words also hinted at the need to pay attention to the differentiation of Qingliu!  Judging from the current situation, he can still divide and disintegrate Qingliu, but this replacement is really hard to find!  At this time, Lin Yizhe had no idea that his future replacement would be someone he could not even dream of now!  "I should keep what you said in mind," Lin Yizhe said.  "This time the Baoting's poisonous plan failed, but the Empress Dowagers of the two palaces took heavy responsibility. I think the clear flow will subside a little. You don't have to worry too much for the time being. All you need to do is be vigilant and deal with it carefully in the future." Xu Run saw Lin Yizhe's serious face and brows.  Lock it tight, knowing that he is free to deeply reflect on his actions during this period.  Afraid that he would think too much, he tried to persuade him with a smile.  "Perhaps Xu Run's words of "looking for a replacement" deeply touched Lin Yizhe. After talking for a while, Lin Yizhe quietly came to the Shipbuilding School.  Perhaps, these children studying in the Shipping School are the real hope of this country and his replacement!  Today¡¯s Shipping School.  Due to abundant funds (of course mainly from Lin Yizhe's subsidy), expansion has been carried out on the original basis. European-style teaching buildings and laboratory buildings have been added to the original Chinese-style school.  When the guard at the door saw it was Lin Yizhe, he saluted and let him go.  The reason why there are guards here is because not everyone has the opportunity to visit the teaching building and laboratory building where students have classes.  Because the teaching area is a military restricted area.  You must get approval to come in.  On both sides of the high steps of the teaching building, two cute stone lions are still placed in accordance with traditional Chinese habits. On the grass next to them, there are two "Congreve" rockets with a launcher standing next to them.  Constitutes a complete rocket launch platform.  Not far from the rocket launcher.  There stood a French musket.  Entering the interior of the teaching building, we came to the hall, which displayed huge inscriptions for the shipping administration by Shen Baozhen, Li Henian, Wen Yu and other feudal officials.  There are many pictures of naval ships hanging on the walls of the teaching building. Among these ships, there are treasure ships from the Zheng He era, British fast sailing battleships and ancient Spanish sailing battleships; there are paddle wheel gunboats and river ironclads from the American Civil War.  , there are also the main ironclad ships of the British and French navies and the newly built armored cruisers of the shipyard.  In addition to huge pictures, there are also portraits of navigators, oil paintings of world-famous naval battles, ancient knots, steering wheels and various navigation instrumentsall of which are related to the navy.  This creates an atmosphere that inspires these future naval officers to study hard.  They silently remind people who come here that the sea is not far away and naval battles are not far away!  Lin Yizhe listened to the sound of students reading aloud in the classroom, and the depression he had just felt because of the news that Bao Ting's poisonous words had not succeeded in his impeachment was now gone.  Lin Yizhe closed his eyes slightly and let his body and mind gradually calm down with the sound of students reading - No matter what others do, I have come to this era.  Since I have decided to change this era, there is no reason to back down!  Even if one person can save the fate of the country, what if there is no substitute?  In the original history, Li Hongzhang dared to use a corner of the Northern Ocean to fight against the Japanese pirates with his entire country.  Someone as bitter as Liang Rengong would also like to say "Hefei Hefei, even if you lose, you will still be proud!" I, Lin Yizhe, was just a death row prisoner who was lucky enough to live another life. Even if I lost, it would be just another death!  What¡¯s more, I may not be alone!  Those who study here are the young students who have received the most modern military education in China at this time. They will all be his comrades-in-arms!  They are the fire of this country!  Even if you end up like Li Hongzhang in your lifetime, the fire has already been sown. As long as the fire does not go out, there is still hope!  Thinking of this, Lin Yizhe was inspired again.Get up.  After leaving the teaching building, Lin Yizhe came to the laboratory building.  The laboratory building is one of the buildings built not long after the Shipbuilding School was built.  Different from the stone lions at the door of the teaching building, there are two ancient cannons from the Ming Dynasty on both sides of the door of the laboratory building.  Thinking of the origin of these ancient cannons, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but smile.  These ancient cannons were not bought from antique dealers, but from the coastal forts in Fuzhou!  Most of the forts on the coast near Fuzhou have a very long history, and the artillery installed on them can be said to be of all kinds and from all eras. After Lin Yizhe led the shipping navy and the Huai Army to defeat Japan's invasion of Taiwan, the imperial court once again  Realizing the weakness of China's coastal defense power, while determined to be a "great flood control division", he strictly ordered all provinces to rectify their defenses, and all the ancient cannons on the Fuzhou coastal fort that had long lost their function as weapons were dismantled.  The two ancient cannons cast in the Ming Dynasty in front of Lin Yizhe came from this.  On both sides of these two ancient cannons, there are also cannons placed one after another, all of which have been removed from the fort and are no longer in use. Among them are cannons from the Ming Dynasty, cannons cast in the early Qing Dynasty, and some from China.  Artillery purchased by foreign countries is now included in the list of eliminated artillery pieces.  These artillery pieces vary in size and shape, but at a glance, you can still clearly distinguish which ones are "domestic products."  What are "imported products"?  Because most of the artillery made in China are extremely rusty, and many of the barrels and barrels have large blisters and pits. However, although the artillery made in foreign countries is also corroded, it is obviously much lighter, showing that  The material needs to be better.  Thinking about the rapid development of foreign metallurgical technology.  It is still developing, and there is no real blast furnace in China that can smelt steel for making guns. Lin Yizhe couldn't help but sigh again.  Nowadays, all the steel and iron materials used by the Shipbuilding Bureau for shipbuilding and guns are still imported!  And in the "Coastal Defense Discussion", he put forward the suggestion of "promoting mining to provide food for the people and increase wages", and he submitted a letter.  Then he was besieged again by die-hard conservatives!  Although the matter of "mining" has been approved by the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong and written into the "State is the Imperial Edict", we still don't know how much resistance we will face when it is actually implemented!  Unconsciously, Lin Yizhe walked into the corridor.  In the corridors and at the corners of the stairs, there are many models of warships and weapons of the old Chinese navy and steam navy from various periods and navies of various countries.  These models are like warships anchored in a military port, always waiting for orders to sail; they are also like condensed naval development history.  Telling the past and future of the sea.  Looking at these lifelike, clean and spotless warship models placed in glass covers, Lin Yizhe was filled with emotion.  According to the system of the French Naval Academy, designated students take turns wiping the floating dust on the glass cover before class every morning.  The French believe that what students wipe away is dust, but what they leave behind is a deep responsibility to the motherland and the navy.  If you encounter a major festival or receive important guests, you can also see the "Manchu flag" hung here that can only be seen on ships.  When it comes to running a school, I am actually a layman.  Thanks to learning from the experience of the French, it is today's scale.  He could now understand why the French navy was so powerful.  It is from these little things that the students' hearts are subtly integrated with the navy!  Lin Yizhe walked out of the laboratory building and came to the campus.  Located in the garden of the campus not far away, there is a strange and ancient steam boat moored as a gift from the French Far East Fleet.  Lin Yizhe strolled to the boat.  He looked at the small boat carefully.  This small boat is small in size. The entire hull adopts a closed structure with no mast and only a chimney on the deck.  Each hatch has an iron cover, and the entire shape resembles a later-generation pocket submarine.  "But Lin Yizhe knew that this was not a submarine, and certainly not a torpedo boat.  And there is no pole in front of it, which also shows that it is not a pole mine boat.  Lin Yizhe looked at the hatches covered with thick iron covers on the hull and the several square boxes with anchor-like iron hooks hanging on the side of the boat, and knew its combat method-in battle, it  They will rush to the enemy ship with fast and solid protection against the rain of bullets fired by the enemy ship. The sailors inside will lean out, hang the mine with an iron hook on the enemy ship and ignite it, and then retreat at high speed, killing the enemy ship.  The ship blew up.  From the current point of view, this method of combat is not only dangerous, but also difficult to succeed. It is often destroyed before approaching the enemy ship.  But if you put it in the naval battle more than ten years ago, the artilleryAlthough the rate of fire and power are not as good as now, it is undoubtedly a very effective way of combat!  It¡¯s a pity that history didn¡¯t give it many opportunities to appear!  In Lin Yizhe's impression, similar battles seemed to have only occurred during the American Civil War.  The French Navy donated this useless small boat to the Shipbuilding and Naval School. It was probably disposed of as waste, but its appearance here has a huge impact on the students of the Shipbuilding School.  the inspiring effect.  In fact, the reason why the French Navy is able to equip this kind of small boat is also because the French dare to innovate and accept new things.  This kind of small boat actually represents the development direction of lightning strike weapons in the future!  As a person with a modern soul, Lin Yizhe has keenly seen the shadow of torpedo boats and submarines in this small boat.  When thinking about the submarine, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel his heart beat.  It¡¯s just that in this era, due to technical limitations, it is difficult to have a submarine that can be used for actual combat.  And now China has not fallen to the point of playing "flying, diving and fast".  On the other hand, Japan, subject to economic treaty restrictions in the future, is likely to have such considerations The sonorous slogans in the distance interrupted Lin Yizhe's thoughts. Lin Yizhe turned around and saw a team of primary school students.  Running in formation.  After running a few laps, this small team came to the playground and stopped. A French instructor pointed at the flagpole and seemed to be saying something. The children raised their heads in unison and looked up at the flagpole.  Lin Yizhe noticed that there were several young men wearing Paiwan costumes with knives stuck in their waists standing among the team, and he couldn't help but smile.  The French instructor pointed at the flagpole and spoke for a while, then took off his coat, placed it on the lawn, turned around, jumped, and quickly climbed up the flagpole.  The French instructor climbed to the top of the flagpole, placed his French navy cap on the top of the pole, then quickly climbed down, came to the children, pointed to the top of the flagpole, and kept saying something, as if  Ask the students to climb up and take off his hat.  PS: Please collect it!  Please recommend!  Please subscribe!  Please click!  Asking for a monthly ticket!
